The Historical Hegemon Series
Volume 16 - Mzab
Chapter One Hundred and Forty-Six - Alliance with Deccan

20 July - I order our mercs disbanded.

I order my 7k back to the colonies in Central East Africa

I order my 33k army back to South Africa

I order the Egyptian army in Kanem back to Egypt to protect that border

I order one 28k Kilwa army to Boyogoma

I order the other to Zumbo

I order:

Star Forts in Al Qaradif pretty much surrounded by Somalia after the Trade Station for it’s Ivory was built

I have enough for 5k for a Great Work! Or could I buy a Trading Post?

I could do an alliance and/or Royal Marriage with Deccan, the Shia nation in India, and then buy a trading post from them pretty easily. Here let me show you:

They are in most of India, and like us lots. This would give me a jump off point for expansion in the Southern Asia region against others north, and a big person to protect like Malacca in the Indies but now I haven’t called on them after building up. Remember Bengal next door are our rival, as are with Deccan. Now I might get pulled into wars I might not really care about, like Malacca in SE Asia, but it’s a nice path in. It’s also a Great Power Hegemon that we could use against the big bad of the Turks and might keep them away like Russia did in Theodoro. I do it!

Ideally I’ll purchase a Trade Post on the border with Bengal to have a launching spot for them.

I have gained the Holy War CB against Kitara now that I am next to them.

26 Aug – Diplomat reruns – Royal Marriage with Deccan

1 Sept – 21 ADM core ordered for Bafuriru

1 Oct – For 5967 I purchase from Deccan the small Trading Post of Srikakulam:

Srikakulam – Coastal – Down coast from Bengal, next to one province minor - 7 dev, Sugar, Tropical, Hills, Workshop, Shipyard, makes us 0.15, Hindu and Orissa.

I spend 50 DIP to invite minorities and 16 ADM to core Buzinza

1 Nov – Gems in Surkut!

Ngonde claimed for 11 ADM, we are all started!

18 Nov- I send my diplomat to build a spy network in Kitara

1 Jan, 1644 – Peace treaty with Kano and Dahomey is up!

I order my Egyptian army back

I order nothing and will hold off until next year in case we need with just 1493 cash

5 Jan – Conversion successful in Manga!

4 Feb – Event – Korean Demand and Algerian Supply – We get better relations with merchants and better production for 5 years

20 Mar – Brakna converts!

1 April – Gogo – Central East Africa – Wealthy Salt, Hills, Arid, 3 dev, Algerian, Ibadi, makes us 0.05 cash monthly, next to Kilwa

I order these colonists north east to Nyatura it has a 50+ chance of Livestock so it probably won’t be anything good

11 April – Natives there killed

1 May – Fur in Mangazea! Speaking of quality!

3 May - Kanem converts! That’s a big one!

15 May – Event – Invest in Military – I choose +15k manpower

1 Sept – I spend some prestige to make nice with Algerian Brazil

2 Oct - I spend 50 MIL to claim Holy war and gain a bunch of claims on Kitara and Bengal and the one province minor next to me.
